Browning.So do be patient please.''How long, ' said the man who was drowning. 'Will it take for the Doc to arrive? ''Not very long, ' said the man with the disease. 'Till then try staying alive.''Very well, ' said the man who was drowning. 'I'll try and stay afloat.By reciting the poems of BrowningAnd other things he wrote.''Help, help, ' said the man with the disease, 'I suddenly feel quite ill.''Keep calm.' said the man who was drowning, ' Breathe deeply and lie quite still.''Oh dear, ' said the man with the awful disease. 'I think I'm going to die.''Farewell, ' said the man who was drowning.Said the man with the disease, 'goodbye.'So the man who was drowning, drowndedAnd the man with the disease past away.But apart from that, And a fire in my flat, It's been a very nice day.
